Twelve Qin Cang, except for Xianyang Cang and Shu Cang, only Ao Cang is the largest.

Since Hedong County was the center of defense of the Great Qin Empire, only Ao Cang could bear the military rations of hundreds of thousands of troops in one fell swoop.

It's just that Hedong County fell into the hands of Xiang Yu and now belongs to the Wei State. This not only made the Great Qin Empire's grain and grass tight, but also caused a loophole in the defense of Hangu Pass.

Hu Hai thought more than once about seizing Hedong County, so he ate Aocang and invited the world to fight. It's just that it's just an idea, and it's not mature at the moment.

So, in the current situation. Ensuring the surplus grain in Guanzhong has become the top priority. The army and the people advance at the same time, and no one can be left behind, whether it is spring plowing or military food reserves.

Both Hu Hai and Wei Yu know this. Therefore, for the tax part, it is very important.

Having experienced the Great Qin Empire's unification of the six countries by force, they naturally knew that the only way to reforge Great Qin was to rely on strong force.

The Qin people are warlike and not afraid of war. At this moment, it is vividly embodied.

……

"Gentlemen!" Hu Hai sat up straight and said, "At present, the three princes and nine ministers of the Great Qin Court only have the left minister, the national lieutenant, and the court lieutenant, and the rest are all missing. ”

"The three public and nine secretaries are not even, and the national government cannot operate effectively. This is the most urgent and important thing for the Empire to solve! ”

……

Hu Hai sighed heavily: "Now the Great Qin Empire is in a corner of peace, the countries of Shandong regard the empire as an enemy, the country has no talents, and although the national captain is strong, it also seems to be lonely. ”

……

"Your Majesty!"

Wei Yu stood up and bowed deeply, and said: "Now that the empire is withering in civil and military, if you want to enrich the imperial court, Your Majesty can only learn from filial piety and issue a decree to the Central Plains to seek merit." ”

"Lao Chen thinks that the way to rejuvenate the country is people-oriented, and it has been the same since ancient times. For an empire to be strong, it must not rely on only a few people such as old ministers. Now that the opportunity has come, we should issue an order to seek talents, in order to thirst for the world's talents, and strengthen Qin! ”

Wei Yu's words rang like a dusk drum and morning bell in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, which made the hearts of the Great Qin Wenwu present move.

……

"Talent Seeking Order ......"

Hu Hai knew that the filial piety of the prince had broken the prejudice of Shandong scholars who did not serve Qin. There is also a Shang monarch Wei Ying, who was born out of thin air, changed the law to strengthen Qin, and broke the world pattern of the princes and Qin in one fell swoop.

It's just that he knows that it is not the Warring States at the moment, and the world was humble to Qin at the beginning, but he did not collectively resist Qin. Filial piety and seeking merit, it is natural that the world's scholars are vying to enter Qin.

Now the name of Tyranny Qin is spread all over the world, and women and children know it. Moreover, all the countries in the world will inevitably blockade the talents of Great Qin, and it is so difficult to ask for virtuous and strong Qin.

Hu Hai groaned and didn't speak, just looked at Wei Yi, waiting for him to continue.

……

Wei Yi restrained his smile: "Thinking about the minister, today's talents are all in Shandong." Your Majesty, if you want to strengthen Qin, you can only issue a meritocracy order! ”

Hu Hai knew that Wei Yu just didn't say it thoroughly, the land of Guanzhong was the homeland of the Great Qin Empire. The talents in Guanzhong were all killed by themselves, or they chose to go into hiding.

As soon as he thought of this, Hu Hai left the case and solemnly surrendered his hand: "The national lieutenant will see the sun in order to solve the confusion in Hu Hai's heart, and I should live up to the loyalty of the national captain and seek the country." ”

Wei Yu bowed deeply: "Your Majesty, please issue an order to seek talents, rectify the rule of officials, and consolidate the foundation of my Great Qin." ”

Hu Hai returned to the case and couldn't help but smile: "What the national lieutenant said is exactly what I think." The Great Qin Empire is falling apart, the first sin is in me, the Great Qin is not prosperous, and I have no face to see the ancestors and ancestors! ”

……

After being silent for a long time, Hu Hai restrained his smile and glanced around the court and the opposition: "It's just a national lieutenant, how can this merit-seeking order be written to reflect the sincerity of my Great Qin?" ”

The promulgation of the merit-seeking order is just an order, a matter of thought. But the result of the meritocracy order is what Hu Hai needs most at the moment.

Wei Yu was silent, sighed, and said: "Since ancient times, there has been a reality in seeking talents, those who work hard to seek talents, and those who sell fame and reputation also seek talents." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is enough to reactivate the filial piety and merit order. Since ancient times, the sincerity of seeking talents is nothing more than filial piety! ”

"What's more, there are lessons from the past of Shang Jun and Xiao Gong, which can arouse the heart of Shi Qin!"

……

"Good!"

When the case was taken, Hu Hai was solemn and said: "In the words of the national captain, immediately send the Black Ice Station to spread the news of the order to the world." ”

"Yes!"

……

In the end, Hu Hai glanced at the county guards in various places and said with a smile: "Today's court meeting is over here, and the county guards from all over the country have entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the officials are governed, and the people's feelings are displayed in the national government." ”

"Yes!"

Hu Hai originally wanted to solve the trivial matters of the eight counties together, but at the moment he was mentally exhausted and his body was a little weak. In desperation, I can only retreat to the next best.

Prepare the important matters of each county to the national government, so as to solve it.

……

Walking out of the main hall of Xianyang Palace, Hu Hai felt a little tired. At present, the talents are all in the Shandong camp. There are only a few people who can really be like Shang Jun, and there are only a few people who can strengthen Qin alone.

But whether it is Zhang Liang, who is a saint, or Fan Zeng, the father, they all have enmity with Qin. Xiao Hezuo Liu Ji will never give up. The only ones who have a chance are Chen Ping and Han Xin.

It's just that Hu Hai knows that whether it is Chen Ping or Han Xin, they are all under Xiang Yu at this time. Maybe in less than a month, both of them will appear in Liaodong.

Because of this, he agreed to Wei Yu's proposal and issued a merit-seeking order to the world.

……

"Your Majesty, do you have no hope for the merit order?" Han Tan approached unconsciously.

Hu Hai's face was as frosty as frost, and he was as silent as iron. After a long time, he whispered.

"At present, Great Qin has three major weaknesses, first, the foundation of the Qin Law has been damaged, and the majesty of the Qin Law is not as good as in the past. Second, the loss of all parts of the Kanto region will turn the hearts of the people and the army away. ”

"Third, there are not enough soldiers in Great Qin, and in the imperial court, the civil and military generals are all gray-haired and not green."

"What's more, the Shandong countries are locked in Qin, and the pattern of the world is the same as that of the Warring States. The nations were just founded, and they were comparable when they were not warring states. At this time, the scholars of the world have a lot of choices, and it is not impossible for Great Qin! ”

Hu Hai didn't think about it, and said: "This time the order for seeking talents is issued, if no scholars come, the Great Qin Empire will become a laughing stock in the Central Plains at that time." ”

……

"Your Majesty, what should I do now?" Han Tan's brows furrowed, he heard the difficulty from Hu Hai's words.

"Wait!" Hu Hai's eyes were like torches, looking at the direction of Hangu Pass, and said: "The order for talent has been promulgated, and there has been no movement for more than a few months!" ”

……

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest!" After being silent for a long time, Han Tan couldn't help but speak.

"I know!"

……

There was no rest for two consecutive days, and at this moment Hu Hai was in a state of weakness and loss of appetite. ate a bunch of soup cakes indiscriminately, waved away Han Tan and the others and slept in clothes.

The reason why he doesn't sleep is because of his resistance to the harem. For the concubines left behind by the original body, Hu Hai is a person with a habit of cleanliness and does not want to be contaminated.

The only thing that made Hu Hai's heart stretch was that the original body did not leave an heir.

……

The thought in his heart flickered, Hu Hai looked at the moonlight outside the window, and for a while, he thought of a lot.
